Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in La Jolla
Regenerative Healing from Within
At Starlite Aesthetics, we believe the most powerful treatments often begin with the body’s own natural intelligence. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cornerstone of our regenerative approach—harnessing your body’s own growth factors to restore, heal, and rejuvenate tissues without synthetic additives or surgical intervention.
Led by Michelle Langston, FNP-BC, our PRP protocols are carefully tailored to support collagen production, improve skin integrity, and accelerate healing following aesthetic procedures. Clients from La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and the broader San Diego area trust us to deliver biologically intelligent care that enhances beauty naturally.

What Is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated serum derived from your own blood. After a simple blood draw, the sample is processed using a medical-grade centrifuge to isolate platelets and growth factors—cells responsible for tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and cellular communication.
Once prepared, the PRP can be applied topically, injected into targeted areas, or combined with other treatments to support deeper regeneration. Because it’s autologous (sourced from your own body), PRP carries no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, making it ideal for clients seeking a safe, non-toxic rejuvenation method.
How PRP Is Used at Starlite Aesthetics
PRP is a versatile tool and may be integrated across a number of treatment areas:
- Skin rejuvenation: Applied during or after Microneedling, Collagen Induction Therapy, or Laser Face Peels with PRP
- Facial volume and texture: Enhances results of Dermal Fillers or supports Facial Balancing
- Hair restoration: A key component of PRP Hair Restoration and Hair Loss Therapies
- Accelerated healing: Aids recovery following PDO Thread Lifts or Exosome Therapy
We often recommend combining PRP with Growth Factors for enhanced tissue regeneration and long-term results.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Stimulates collagen and elastin naturally
- Improves skin tone, texture, and firmness
- Enhances wound healing and cellular repair
- Reduces fine lines, scarring, and inflammation

- Safe, biocompatible, and free of synthetic chemicals
Clients love PRP not only for its regenerative benefits, but for its ability to work synergistically with other advanced services—offering a customized and holistic path to skin health and rejuvenation.
What to Expect During PRP Treatment
Step 1: Consultation
Michelle will evaluate your skin health, treatment goals, and medical history to determine if PRP is the right fit. We may also use Computer Skin Analysis to capture a baseline of your skin’s condition.
Step 2: Blood Draw and Processing
A small vial of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma-rich portion containing growth factors.
Step 3: Application or Injection
Depending on your treatment, the PRP is either injected into targeted areas or applied topically during procedures like microneedling or laser resurfacing.
Step 4: Recovery and Results
You may experience mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours. Most clients notice improvement in texture and tone within one to two weeks, with collagen-building benefits continuing over the following months.

Is PRP the same as a filler?
No. While both improve volume and texture, PRP works by stimulating your body to regenerate collagen over time, rather than adding instant volume. It’s often used in conjunction with Dermal Fillers for more natural, long-term enhancement.
Is PRP painful?
Discomfort is minimal. For injection-based applications, a topical numbing cream is applied. Most clients describe the process as tolerable and well worth the benefits.
How many sessions will I need?
We typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance once or twice annually. Your exact plan will be customized based on your skin or hair restoration goals.
Can PRP help with dark under-eye circles?
Yes. PRP is often used in Eye Rejuvenation treatments to improve skin thickness, tone, and circulation under the eyes, reducing the appearance of shadows and hollowness.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or sensitivity depending on the application method. Most clients resume normal activities the same or next day.
